Default Aricept (donzepil) seems to be helping me with cognitive executive functioning.
And, no, I do not have Alzheimer's.
My new doctor fortunately "got it" when I said that I was not interested in having a bunch of more/other/different antidepressants thrown at me.

My doctor asked/suggested a trial with Aricept. I said, sure, let's try it. It's a positive experience, a significant improvement in my cognitive functioning, for me.

I am neither recommending nor suggesting this. It's simply been my own experience, and your own experience may vary. You may want to try to ask your own dr. about this cholinesterase med's potential benefit for those of us with a history of tbi, who have significant life impairment in daily functioning including depression, cognitive executive dysfunction.

"Who'd a thunk it??"

Best regards,
Theta
